The invention discloses a photovoltaic
snow covering depth and
power loss forecasting method and
system based on multi-
source data fusion, and belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic power forecasting. The problems of high-precision accumulated
snow influence assessment, short-term risk early warning and
power loss quantitative prediction of a
photovoltaic system in cold and alpine regions are solved. The method comprises the following steps: selecting three numerical
weather forecasting modes, namely a global forecasting
system operated by the National Environmental Forecasting Center, a wind energy and
solar energy forecasting
system of the China Meteorological Administration and a unified mode weather forecast of the British Meteorological Administration, acquiring
weather forecasting data, performing unified space-time interpolation, abnormal value correction and unit conversion, and then performing set averaging to obtain a set average value; ensemble forecast data is obtained; based on a temperature-
irradiance condition and a
friction force mechanism, an accumulated
snow covering model is constructed, a photovoltaic panel snow covering range and photovoltaic
power loss are obtained, early warning information of snow covering time, duration and power loss is generated through matching of
station longitude and
latitude and
national grid forecasting, and photovoltaic snow covering depth and power loss forecasting based on multi-
source data fusion is completed.
